Hmm...each of these videos is rendering the same clips for me. The web player will render new ones though.

The clips are pretty much the same, except for when the time appears on the screen, which happens somewhere in the middle of the videos, no?

At least for me, for each of the videos in that gist the only difference between them was the timestamp at the beginning of the video. All the movie clips were the same. :/

Since I first replied to your comment, people have figured out that there's more than just the 'time' (that appears at 0:23 in the video) that changes from one video to another. There are 'parameters' that get encoded in the video file name/URL's MD5 hash as well. Compare these two videos:

Original video file name: blue-a-b1-c1234-d-e1-f-g1-h1-i

which is this url: https://thechoiceisyours.whatisthematrix.com/generated/v7/hi...

Another video file name: blue-a-b3-c0555-d-e3-f-g3-h3-i

which is this url: https://thechoiceisyours.whatisthematrix.com/generated/v7/hi...

Notice the differences due to the b, e, g and h values:

- at 0:13 the video is different

- at 0:18 the video is different

- at 0:23 the displayed time is different (12:34 versus 5:55)

- at 0:35 the video is different

- at 0:39 the video is different

- at 0:42 the video is different

This is also really helpful to see all of the clips :-)
